EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This LRA Crisis Tracker Quarterly Security Brief provides a summary and analysis of the reported activities of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) from July to September 2011 (highlighted reporting period) in Democratic Republic of Congo (Congo), South Sudan, and Central African Republic (CAR).

The month marked the beginning of a decline in the rainfall trend. 45mm of rainfall were received compared to the 72mm received in August, as predicted by the department of meteorology. This decline is expected to continue with cessation occurring around late October. The vegetation condition also continued to change with an increase in the percentage of trees turning yellow and shading off leaves.
